2023 Learning Impact Award Winners
1EdTech's annual Learning Impact program recognizes evidence-based breakthrough digital learning solutions and bold strategies implemented in an educational setting to power unlimited potential in every learner.
The 2023 Learning Impact Award finalists represent educational institutions and edtech suppliers worldwide that are innovating to improve instruction and transform learning experiences.
The competition focuses on three critical criteria:
- Having a demonstrable impact on personalized learning.
- Enhancing institutional processes for improved education and outcomes.
- Advancing the ability of edtech products to work together in the digital ecosystem.
A panel of experts—who watch and assess live presentations of each project—and the edtech community at large decide the platinum, gold, silver, or bronze awards. Eight winners were announced at the 2023 Learning Impact Conference in Anaheim, California.
